Rest easy, we know where we’re going to be seeing Shadowhunters’s Dominic Sherwood pop up next.
The Jace Herondale actor has signed on for the sequel to Penny Dreadful, Deadline reports, starring alongside Game of Thrones’s Natalie Dormer.
Dominic is one of six new actors to join the cast in a recurring role, including Adam Rodriguez (CSI: Miami), Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Ethan Peck (Star Trek: Discovery).
Mad Men’s Michael Gladis and Once Upon A Time’s Lorenza Izzo are also expected to take on lead roles.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is being called a ‘spiritual descendant’ of the original three-season series set in Victorian London.
However, in a departure from Victorian-era London, this series will be set in 1930s Los Angeles.
It’s ‘a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension,’ The Hollywood Reporter says.
The story will focus on the conflict between characters connected to Santa Muerte, a death deity, and those allied with the devil.
Original creator and executive producer John Logan will return for the new series, as well Michael Aguilar.
The original series starred Eva Green as a spiritual medium and the Devil’s unwilling consort Vanessa Ives, and starred Billie Piper and Josh Hartnett as they explored famous dreadful literary characters, including Dorian Gray and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
It will be Dominic’s first role since Shadowhunters, which was cancelled by the Freeform network in June 2018.
The supernatural drama, which premiered in 2016 with FreeForm’s largest audience in more than two years, ended in an epic two-parter in May.
Despite the initial mixed reaction from critics, the show told stories that resonated deeply with viewers, including battling with sexual identity, racial and ethnic discrimination, and the Other.
Actor Dominic previously admitted that saying goodbye to his character was ’emotional’ but from the looks of it, there are even bigger things ahead.
Production on Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was set to commence this year but a premiere date has not yet been set.
